While listening to the radio recently, I heard a story about the remedial fitness training for new Army recruits. Apparently, modern American culture doesn’t lend itself to producing citizens that meet the Army’s standards - a lot to unpack there. As is the case with most things, I blame millenials. Think about it seriously, though. Pre-WWII, your average Army recruit probably worked A) on a farm or B) in manual labor and I’m pretty sure spent less than 30 minutes a week on screen time in its various iterations. [Read More]

Limited Running

The Hi-Literversary Week and the Disco Duck Birthday Week overlapped, giving two brothers an opportunity to co-Q Phoenix, the greatest Saturday AO in all of Carpex. Because some of the PAX were running in the Break the Silence 5K later in the morning, we decided today’s workout would be limited running. Disco takes the first half, Hi-Liter takes the second. Warm-Up Mosey down to the Parking Lot of Pain and circle up for side straddle hops x 10, imperial walkers x 10, Sir Fazio forward x 10, Sir Fazio backward x 10 and warm up burpees x 7. [Read More]

The path to Q’dom had to start somewhere, for Tubeless it started at Wolverine. 12 brave PAX showed up to attack the time change, put a hurting on Monday, and celebrate YHC’s VQ. Things were off to a great start as Jiggly Puff made his return to the gloom after having his 2.2 Gus. All PAX were stoked to see him. Welcome back Jiggly Puff! Speaking of PAX, YHC was stoked to see 12 PAX post for the Tubeless VQ. [Read More]

The Lake is Beautiful this Time of Year (har, har!)

Posted on March 11, 2018 | 4 minutes | 771 words |

“The lake at Phoenix is beautiful this time of year,” I thought with a sadistic little smirk on my face. Here is how we got there…. YHC didn’t know what to expect at Phoenix this morning with the Mule going on in Raleigh. Hello Kitty planned a 6 mile meander through Cary, as well. But, the parking lot was packed with PAX and one FNG. So, after the initial disclaimer, we were off, running down to the stop sign and then “whoa, curveball” Hi-Liter heads to the right, the traditional Texas Ranger path, but YHC heads left, just keeping everyone guessing.

Hello Kitty graciously allowed me to grab this Q for my 45th birthday celebration. Site-Q Biner mentioned the greenways hadn’t been explored much so that setup our prime directive – destination White Oak Park west along the White Oak greenway. Park is only about 1 mile away with a lighted shelter, basketball and tennis courts. There is a playground along the way for the neighborhood tucked back in there so we stopped and did some work.

Taking my breath away...

On the 4th day, Breathtaker and I decided to Q Flying Circus. Its been on my TO-DO list for awhile. Forecast? Copious amounts of rain. Head for cover? Heck no… Roll up on the AO with five minutes to spare. Not one around… uh-oh. Luckily Biner keeps a spare shovel flag in his SUV as no site Qs were present. Though I did get a drunken text from 1AM SkyBlue apologizing that he was “working” late. [Read More]
